Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dashboard has cracked in 2 locations. The 1st runs into the corner of the passenger airbag compartment. The 2nd is over the instrument cluster and now I have a check engine light on. Not sure yet of the 2 are related. The first crack just seemed to appear. The 2nd crack (which is much worse now) I could hear it crack when I started the engine sitting still.”
NHTSA complaint #10875312, filed 2016-06, 77,500 miles“The dash of my 2010 Avalanche is cracked near the passenger airbag. This crack appeared overnight while the vehicle was parked in my driveway. Now the center center connection of the dash panel has cracked as well creating distracting noises. Most importantly, the cracked piece around the airbag area could become a sharp projectile if the airbag is deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10807853, filed 2015-12, 55,000 miles“My dash is breaking at the air bag and above the steering wheel.it started after central Chevrolet made repairs to a fan motor. I carried the truck back to the dealer.they said my warranty would not cover my dash.I had about 9000 miles left on a full coverage policy that central chev.said covered the complete truck.”
NHTSA complaint #10825226, filed 2016-02, 91,000 miles“Tamara recall. I am one of several GM customers who is having problems with the dashboard cracking. I've been in contact with GM customer care and they acknowledged my issue and have offered to pay 30% of the $1,569.88 it would cost me to have my dashboard replaced. Since so many people are having this issue, I feel GM should issue a recall to repair customers dashboards at no charge.”
NHTSA complaint #10846229, filed 2016-03, 75,000 miles“I have a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche ltz my dash is cracking around center mount speaker on both sides all the way to air bag compartment, this is not normal wear and tear, and could be a safety issue with air bag.
